Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley. Zest the lemon and then cut it into thin slices.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the butter, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and paprika until fully combined.
Brush the olive oil mixture generously over the fish fillets, making sure to coat them evenly.
Place the lemon slices over the fish and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Serve hot with a side of steamed vegetables or rice, and enjoy!
